Hi everyone! Sorry for disappearing; went on a short roadtrip with my family last weekend which somehow threw me off for a whole week.
@Alanus
- Believe me, I am well aware of your curmudgeon-ness. But good point about the "Barbaricum" paper. I also wish it had included dates for each example.
- On the sword in the British Museum: seen it before.
- Could you link me to the "illustrated Iaz grave with the short sword and what seems likely to be a contus-head"?
@Michael
- I also would like to see "more archaeological evidence to ascertain the weaponry of the Iazyges during the period up to the Marcomannic Wars." (You may have already read this paper on Iazyges swords, but I feel I should throw it out there for everyone.)
- On arrowheads: have you read the paper "Sarmatian Archery in the Carpathian Basin" by Istvanovits and Kulcsar? It mentions several finds of bronze arrowheads, and potentially one iron one.
- Also, great sources on Pannonia! You should add those to the Sarmatiana thread.
